OhmConnect, a residential energy management company, announced that the LG ThinQ App from LG Electronics now integrates into the OhmConnect demand response platform.
U.S. consumers with LG room air conditioners can now access OhmConnect’s Demand Response program using the LG ThinQ App. The gamified energy engagement experience allows consumers to earn rewards for automatically managing the use of their LG air conditioners during periods of peak grid demand.
The LG ThinQ App allows remote temperature control for LG room air conditioners to reduce energy consumption when the electrical grid is stressed. LG and OhmConnect plan to expand this service later this year.
“It is alliances–like ours with LG–that really make an outsized impact on enabling millions of residents to take control of their energy use,” said Cisco DeVries, CEO, OhmConnect. “It’s exciting to partner with one of the world’s leading brands to help stabilize the grid as we march towards a clean energy future.”
